The chassis was sent to H.J. Mulliner in Chiswick where the body was fitted. In 1937 for reasons unknown the original Mulliner body was moved to Chassis GWN70 At the behest of the owner, Jobson. The Chassis was then shipped to Aberdeen where it had been purchased by a Mr Young of Aberdeen motors. Young commissioned the current body in 1937/8 from coach-builders J & W Georgeson; a firm whom's primary expertise lay in construction of bus bodies.

They in turn sold the car to Mr James Scott of Inchgarth, Pitfodels; A building contractor & shareholder in Aberdeen motors. Scott employed the services of a chauffeur to conduct him in the car.

He used the car apparently up until his 85th year at which time it was sold to one Arthur Gr
